I just read about this on Yahoo news!!! Its the first item on Yahoo. I'm cryng as I type this! This is so sad and horrible. and I am so angry. What is happeneing to our women? Our girls? We have to publicly wail for our babies!!!! This is a state of emergency in our society in our community in AMERICA. Lord have mercy!!!

East St. Louis is a separate city in the State of Illinois. The St. Louis area is divided by the Mississippi River, Missouri on one side and Illinois on the other of course. Same community (It's still the areas "East Side"), just technically a separate State and municipality.

Missouri's other big city (Kansas City) is the same way... There are actually 2 "Kansas City's" that make up the same community. Divided by a State line, one is the larger Kansas City Missouri and the other is the smaller Kansas City Kansas (two totally separate towns). Strange.... and it confuses people all the time.

My heart is grieving for these precious little children. This is too much. What in Christ's name is happening in America. I pray this evil woman gets her due. And to take the fetus to a hospital and say that she miscarried! She needs to be boiled in oil for murdering her friend and killing those sweet little ones!! God please have mercy on their family that is left behind. Help them make it through this terrible terrible time.

Horrific.I read about it in the local [S.F.] paper and the NYT: the whole country is mourning that beautiful family. The coverage was so thorough as to allow one to speculate as to what the f*ck the girl's motivation might have been, and to imagine how the f*ck she ever possibly acted on them. To put those two... and that precious... After somehow... somewhere... It's almost comforting to read that they didn't die where they were found, but only because ordering the details helps one confront the otherwise unthinkable.

i hate that i didn't know these children were even missing. of course i'd seen the "oh the fetus, the precious fetus" headlines all over google news but since i didn't open any of those links, i didn't know there were also three adorable children gone.
